Youthleadership.com is dedicated to providing current, creative, and dynamic youth leadership information; and serving as a resource clearinghouse for individuals interested in youth leadership. Youth leaders deserve the same corporate attention as leaders in business, politics, education, faith-based organizations, and the broader community. One step toward making youth leadership a social priority is to link others with the best and most timely resources, helping inform and educate adults working with youth leaders, as well as parents, kids and teens interested in leadership.
Youthleadership.com emphasizes a developmental approach, with young leaders being recognized as important resources and partners, supported to take on significant roles as leaders within schools, organizations, communities, etc. This approach values creating opportunities for youth to learn leadership skills without having to be perfect leaders (after all, name a perfect adult leader!).
It's essential for youth leadership educators to create an environment and attitude that provides for learning from mistakes, acknowledging that all leaders confront obstacles along the way. Ultimately, someone or something is there to help youth learn from a situation and move on stronger and more competent as a leader.
Take time to share your experiences and explore additional ways to prepare youth leaders for their present and future!
